Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Quantum computing
Quantum computing is the use of quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computations. Computations include all types and forms of (mathematical) calculations. Computers that perform quantum computations are known as quantum computers. Quantum computers are believed to be able to solve certain computational problems substantially faster than classical computers. Quantum phenomena can also be used for quantum networks and quantum encryption for instance. The security topics associated with quantum technologies include the breaking of current day encryption, the striving of nations for quantum dominance leading to tension and conflict, impossibility to break quantum encryption or eavesdrop on a quantum connection, higher computational power to do for instance video analysis and risk modelling for security.
There are several models of quantum computers and/or quantum computing systems. The most widely used model is the quantum circuit. Quantum circuits are based on a quantum bit, or "qubit", which is somewhat analogous to the bit in classical computation. Despite ongoing experimental progress since the late 1990s, most researchers believe that zero-fault quantum computing is not achievable yet. However, in recent years (2021), investment into quantum computing research has increased in both the public and private sector.
Related Keywords: integer factorisation, post-quantum cryptography, supercomputer
